Ew, ew, ew, I just found a silverfish in the bathroom, and I'm fairly certain now that the upstairs neighbours toilet is leaking into the bathroom again. The stain on the ceiling is bigger than it was a week ago and the wallpaper is cracking all along the cornacing. And then I read: "By far the most effective way to be rid of silverfish for sure is to keep an area or room tidy, limiting the possible number of breeding grounds they have." in that damn wikipedia article and I looked around the room, and ARGH MUST CLEAN EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW. Except I can't because I've got to work on my ICT coursework (hey, sick of hearing about it yet?) to show the teacher today at two. But when I get home, by God I'm going to clean this apartment within an inch of its life.

And, ew, ew, EW, that little fucker can survive by eating off hair and dandruff?! Human bits and pieces! I'm totally imagining now that when you go to sleep that disgusting little thing crawling up to feast on your hair at night. *shivers
(no subject)
I'm sorry. :( But possibly the whole little family of fuckers are not seven feet away from MY BED, and tonight I'm going to have to pull everything out of the bathroom and risk crawly things in the pursuit of obsessive cleaning, so I'm a little bit more sorry for myself than I am for you right now. :/

:O ...Thanks. That's an image that's going to stay with me.
(Dude, tell me you've seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall by now.)
(no subject)
It was my own little payback. Remember, I'm EVUL. This is just a mild taste of what is to come if I don't get that Adam/Elle fic.
Dude, tell me you've seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall by now.
*cries*
And it doesn't look like I will anytime soon or, you know, EVER. Now that my Non is fighting not only with Tara but my aunt, Dee Dee as well. Three fucking factions of my family fighting and it's just all bullshit and I want to be kept out of it. And seeing Tara will be difficult now since I live with my Non and she would know that I went down to Tara's and then she'll get all pissy with me. When I actually should be pissy with her for starting all this drama AGAIN. All this family bullshit died down a little while ago after this big huge fiasco with my ex-boyfriend, and Dee Dee, and Non but the old bitty had to go and start a new world war and OMG THIS ALL JUST HAPPENED TODAY AND I JUST.CAN'T.TAKE.IT.ANYMORE. This all just a big huge ramble but it's all just been jumbling around inside my brain and I'm ranting I know I'm ranting so if for some reason you're actually still reading this feel free to ignore because I'm slowly losing my ability to use punctuation. The comma? What is the comma? No such thing exists! Much like my sanity. *sigh* I wish The Haitian could mindwipe me of my family.
And I still haven't seen fucking Forgetting Sarah Marshall! I could handle all this if I just saw the fucking movie. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO. This is why I'm so obsessed with fandom. Reality sucks. Fandom pwns my life.
(no subject)
Reality sucks. Fandom pwns my life.
I think fandom pwns pretty much everyone's life. How else would a whole generation of fangirls have got sex education otherwise?
(no subject)
*sulks* No. Movies with a R rating requires you to be 17 or older or have an accompanying adult. And while I got the 17 part down, I don't have a photo id to prove it. And it sucks even more that I'll be fucking 18 in July. So having my cousin going kind of killed two birds. A) she's got the adult thing down and b) someone I actually would want to go see the movie with. My friends are in the same boat as me so they're not viable options. So, unless I want to go see a movie that shows off a man's penis and has a couple sex scenes in it with my 60+ grandma and sit through the level of awkwardness (not to mention the verbal lashing I would get after the movie) that would be guaranteed to happen, I'm fucked. *sigh* Why does my cousin suck so much? Usually, Tara is quite awesome but she TOTALLY FAILS AT LIFE in this aspect.
*weeps softly in corner*
How else would a whole generation of fangirls have got sex education otherwise?
Exactly! People can't say that fandom/internet never did people any good. Of course it gave sex predators easier access to minors but I say that the good far out weighs the bad.
(no subject)
And yeah, going to see that film with someone 60+ would be quite a lot of do not want. I feel for you. :(
I say that the good far out weighs the bad.
Definitely. I never would have got into writing and gone from being in remedial English classes to writing epic incest porn. Which, uh, some may say would have been just as well. :|
(no subject)
Heh. I've never personally since I'm always with an adult but I figure I especially would be carded since I do not look 17. Which I'm not exactly complaining about because I would rather look younger than older. It will come handy in the coming years.
And yeah, going to see that film with someone 60+ would be quite a lot of do not want.
Hee. I get painfully squeamish around my Non even if they mention just the word "sex" on tv. Even if it was on like... Heroes or something. I feel like she would be judging me>.... Which actually now that I think about it is kind of true. My Non is weird and fickle and blames me for crap that isn't my fault but I've come to live with it.
I never would have got into writing and gone from being in remedial English classes to writing epic incest porn. Which, uh, some may say would have been just as well.
Hee. Well, I'm not of those people. In fact, when am I getting more incesty porn of epic proportions?! Because really, I look at every fic you write as a personal gift to me. And I want my fix.
(no subject)
And, of course, there's always crack to be written. I should be killing fandom in no time at all. :D
(no subject)
Your official title from now on is The Mad Murdering Cutthroat Slaughterer of Fandom. Or more simply, Fandom Killer.
Angsty AU, you say? You know when dogs catch a whiff of a scent and they perk all up? Totally what I just did. More details!
(no subject)
Well, you know I wrote one of those 'five things' fics, and one part was Peter and Claire getting married not knowing they were related? I'm continuing that, but angstily rather than happily. Basically Nathan and Claire realise they're related and Claire proceeds to kind of blackmail him into keeping quiet. I don't know where else to go with it from there, but that should keep me busy writing for a while at least.
(no subject)
Bwah... I think so? Is it the Four Ways Claire Became a Petrelli, and One Way She Didn't? Because if so, I repeat, BWAH?! Oh my fucking god, you must continue that. Screw, the Adam/Elle fic. Do that one! That one! How long is that sucker going to be? And it's going to be angsty! MWAHAHAHAHA I LOVE ANGST. As long as you sprinkle in a few happy moments to keep me sane, that is. And there's going to be blackmail! Hee! Dude so many possibilities! Do you have any other inkling where this going to be headed? I'm like... drooling now. Throw me a bone. Or a doggy biscuit. Lie to me if you have to. Just give me something.
Also kind of random but somewhat Peter/Claire related. Have you listened to any of the radio interview Milo has been giving? He's admitted to dating Hayden which totally makes me feel vindicated for all the Peter/Claire shipping and that I wasn't completely delusional. I wasn't see things. I was just seeing Milo and Hayden unable to squash their lustful looks for each other while they were in character.
(no subject)
Yup, that one, and knowing me it'll just run on and on. Peter's going to have lots of happy moments, Nathan and Claire, not so much. Other inklings... Um, well, it's going to span quite a few years, probably, and I have got one thing in mind, but it'll ruin the surprise if I tell you.
Throw me a bone. Or a doggy biscuit.
I have sensitive digestion dried dog food, does that count? And dude, you know you're an enabler, right?
Have you listened to any of the radio interview Milo has been giving?
The Chris Moyles one? I still haven't got round to downloading it (for some reason, people keep asking me if I've listened to it, like I'm a... a crazed fangirl, or something) but I read a transcription of the part you're talking about. I'll admit it, I squeed a
lotbit. It was so obvious something was going on (although, after seeing some of the BAFTA pictures, I wonder if it's just a cover for whatever's going on with Adrian and Milo). Thing is though, if they break up, that is going be awkward on the show. Normally one actor jumps ship, but they're both equally important...Oh, I've made myself depressed now. :(
(no subject)
Um, does it look like I care? I wish to crawl inside your brain and pick it apart. But, dude, for some reason the idea of Peter being obliviously happy while Nathan and Claire are silently waging their own little battle of the wills fills me with too much joy. Then at some point Peter is going to catch on and things are going to get fucking complicated.
And dude, you know you're an enabler, right?
*beams* Proud of it, baby. So damn proud. Now keep going with the details. Brainstorm away! Start writing! Go, go, go!
Thing is though, if they break up, that is going be awkward on the show.
Dude, FUCK. YOU.
WHYYYYYYYYY would you say something like that? Real person shipping is a secret thing of mine that I pretty much admit to no one. I'll admit to liking incest in fiction to my fucking Non before I admit the RPS. BUT OMFG IF HAYDEN AND MILO DON'T EYE!FUCK THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER. I feel especially drawn to them because I'm a Peter/Claire shipper (or is it I'm a P/C shipper because of them? *ponders*) and then you have to go and say that. Realistically, I know they're not going to be a forever thing because, dude, Hayden's only now just 18 but fuck dude if I'm not excited since they're not actually denying it constantly now. Now, you're making me wish they start filming the new season (as if I wasn't already but now it's to the OMFGDOITNOW!!!!! level) before they break up and have a Peter/Claire reunion so Hayden and Milo can eye!sex each other before they're all bitter and loathing of each other because YOU JUST CONDEMNED THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO HELL!!! I demand you give me more fic details for the pain you just put me through.
(no subject)
...Sylar? *looks around nervously*
Okay, well there are going to be hints of Peter/Nathan, as in they fooled around but Peter said it was wrong, and now Nathan thinks what's going on is really really ironic. Claire has a child, which freaks Nathan out so much and he avoids having any contact with the kid until somewhere near the end when the now adult child confronts him about why he's such a prick. BUT, I've only written five sentences, so this isn't set in stone yet.
Aaand, that's all I've got. Feel free to throw ideas at me.
YOU JUST CONDEMNED THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO HELL!!!
So, my word is like the word of God? Cool. However, we're both around Hayden's age, and I know I sure wouldn't break up with Milo (unless it was for Adrian, but let's not get into that).
(no subject)
I knew that was coming but *shrugs* I love Sylar. *pimps icon*
Hmmm, Peter/Nathan. My reaction is kind of a non-reaction. I'm not into Peter/Nathan at all. I'll make some Petrellicest jokes when Adrian and Milo get close together on the show but otherwise I'm apathetic-verging-on-disliking-it. Which totally doesn't make sense because I'm a Peter/Claire shipper.
But I'm all for the kid thing since Peter is going to FREAK THE FUCK OUT when he finds out they're related. Not only is Peter going to go spazzy on Claire and Nathan for letting him continue in his incesty marriage but he's going to totally lash out at Claire for letting them create a child that could be fucked.
Feel free to throw ideas at me.
Uh... porn?
Hmm, I'm not sure though. I'm more better at throwing ideas when I have more guidelines of where the story is headed at or a vague notion of what type of relationships the characters have with each other. Like I know you said Peter would be the happier person of the bunch while Claire and Nathan are weighed down with the reality but does that mean Peter & Claire's relationship is going to be strained? Or is that Claire's one angst-free relationship? Does she feel guilty about hiding the truth? Or is she a madwoman bent on Peter never finding out? Do you know how and when everything is going to unravel and the truth comes out? I'm interested in finding out if you plan on Peter sticking with Claire because he gets over his issues or because he just can't help himself or maybe he's all "Fuck it!" and walks away.
However, we're both around Hayden's age, and I know I sure wouldn't break up with Milo
Yeah, Hayden would be a dumbass to let Milo go. Their relationship seems steady, and more importantly, under the radar so that gives it bonus points that it will hold up against time better than some celebrity couples. I'm just cynical. What's going to happen if Milo wants to settle down? I don't know if that's going to be happening anytime soon but I'll bet he'll hit that point before Hayden does. *shrugs* Who knows though? Until then I'm going to be all SQUEEEE! I motherfucking knew it!.... like half of the world did so maybe not so much in the gloating points department but still. Being right feels good.
(unless it was for Adrian, but let's not get into that)
Mmmm, Petrelli sandwich.
.....OMFG I just noticed you changed your name to "The Mad Murdering Cutthroat Slaughterer of Fandom". HEE! So much HEE! I'm going to be all depressed when you change it eventually. We have to figure out one for me now.
(no subject)
I'm nothing if not predictable.
I'm not much into Peter/Nathan either, even though the subtext is barely even sub. I don't know, that part might not stay. I am toying with the idea that Peter never finds out, or that we're not entirely sure how he reacts because it's probably going to be from Nathan's perspective.
Claire's going to be crazy hell-bent on Peter not finding out, to the point where Peter becomes alienated from Nathan because he feels the tension between them and blames Nathan. I think if Peter does find out, I'll probably have them stay together after one almighty meltdown on Peter's part. After all, he won't find out for quite a few decades, and there's the whole outliving everyone else thing to contend with.
I think Milo's definitely going to hit the settling down point quicker, but yeah, I'm just going to stick my fingers in my ear and sing 'la la la' until that time comes.
I'm going to be all depressed when you change it eventually.
Well, I kept my last name, 'the girl formerly known as teenmisfituk' (friends shouldn't let friends choose screen names when they're fourteen) for over a year, so you're good for a while. For you... I think 'The Enabler' would be good, but it's nowhere near as creative as the one you gave me. Hm, I'll try to think something else up.
(no subject)
Another thing I love about this fic. We get angsty Peter/Claire and a whole mess load of Nathan! EPIC WIN!
Part of me wants Peter to find out.. well, just because. The angst is always beautiful even when it feels like my bloody heart is being squeezed in someone's palm. But then again you don't really see fics where Peter and/or Claire don't find out. So, yeah both ways would be awesome and angsty, just in different ways.
Claire's going to be crazy hell-bent on Peter not finding out, to the point where Peter becomes alienated from Nathan because he feels the tension between them and blames Nathan.
Oh, *is intrigued* That sounds awesome. The brothers always have had a strong connection so not only to see that strained and put to the test but to see Peter put his relationship with Claire above that is all kinds of awesome-rific. Now is it going to be slow burn that just over time estranges Peter and Nathan? Or is it going to be a kind of thing were Peter willingly sacrifices his relationship with Nathan because he sees how upset Claire is, or even worse that Claire manipulates Peter into breaking all ties. Or, OH, is it going to be explosive where Peter gets into a big old fight with Nathan because he sees him shouting at Claire, maybe even grabbing her arm roughly when Claire tries to storm away from Nathan, and Peter comes barreling in all "No fucking way!". And, oh OH, what if Peter gets so overcome by his anger that he puts the hurt on Nathan, not to the point where he sends him to the hospital, but something more vicious than a punch and then Peter can be all horrified and guilty.
... yeah. I got a little caught up there didn't I? *clears throat* Moving on...
I think Milo's definitely going to hit the settling down point quicker, but yeah, I'm just going to stick my fingers in my ear and sing 'la la la' until that time comes.
Amen. And if/when they do break-up I'll just live in denial land where I imagine they secretly love and lust over each other. *sigh* I'm beyond crazy. I think there has to be *something* lasting in their relationship though. They have seemed interested in each other from the beginning and Milo seems like a pretty chill guy and more serious so I don't think he would hold out this long if it was just because of hormones. But then again *shrug* Guys can do some crazy things when they think with the other brain.
friends shouldn't let friends choose screen names when they're fourteen
Dude, I'm not even going to tell you the one I went by for a long time. It's such a freaking embarrassment. For shame younger self! FOR SHAME!
For you... I think 'The Enabler' would be good, but it's nowhere near as creative as the one you gave me. Hm, I'll try to think something else up.
Just add a a bunch of adjectives. Pretty much what I did. Took the word "killer" thought of synonyms for it and expanded from there. Until then though I've changed my name to "The Enable". I feel like I should have a cape and mask.
(no subject)
Damn, this fic has fans before it's even been written. :D
I think I'm going to go for the slow-burn, although all those scenarios you've mentioned sound awesome and now I feel compelled to incorporate at least one of them, especially Peter putting the hurt on Nathan. *schemes*
Guys can do some crazy things when they think with the other brain.
I wouldn't know. *bitter* And, (this isn't really related, but it's still Milo) I totally just got hit with some unexpected Milo when I was watching The Stack and they interviewed him at the NYCC about his new comic book. How the hell did I not already know about this?
Dude, I'm not even going to tell you the one I went by for a long time.
Oh man, now you have to tell me. I think embarrassing screen names are forgivable when you're young and stupid.
I feel like I should have a cape and mask.
You know, I totally imagined something like this when I thought of it. Only... less male. Um, yeah.
(no subject)
Dude, I'm like your... another word for cheerleader. I refuse to be a cheerleader. I'd rather be someone's prison bitch before I'm a cheerleader. I do not have S-P-I-R-I-T. No, I don't!
now I feel compelled to incorporate at least one of them, especially Peter putting the hurt on Nathan. *schemes*
MWAHAHAHAHA! I love Nathan but seeing Peter put the hurt on Nathan would be awesome. And hot. No matter how misguided Peter would be, seeing him defending Claire's honor would be sexy as hell. Cause he would have his sexy angry determined face on when he started wailing on Nathan. And would Claire feel at all guilty or would she have a smirky satisfied grin of EVUL?! *cue dramatic music*
I may now have to start reading comic books. Damn you, Milo! I'm already obsessed about movies and tv, I don't need another medium! There goes my life.
And don't be bitter about boys. I have limited experience but they suck. I just found out my ex-boyfriend is engaged to my cousin (not the cousin that I hang out with all the time) which... awkward. I'm not too sure how to feel about that but weirded out. The only thing I can be grateful for is I was never in love with him otherwise I would be a sobbing mess. And dear god is my Non going to blow up when she hears that news. Please keep me sane by posting fic. *puppy eyes*
And, yes, I totally took my rl crap and turned into an oppurtunity to guilt trip you. I'm not above it. In fact, I'm far below it.
Oh man, now you have to tell me.
Dude, you would never ever think of me the same way again. I combined three horrible, horrible words together to get my screenname. I despise my younger self with a passion. Sadly, even then I thought it was a little off but still went with it. *hides face*
You know, I totally imagined something like this when I thought of it.
Hee! I thought of something like this (Have you seen this guy, btw? Achmed is by far the best.). Just totally cheesy and crap. But I like yours better.
(no subject)
seeing him defending Claire's honor would be sexy as hell.
Oh, it would. I think Claire would feel a little guilty, but she's kind of unconsciously manipulating Peter because she's so scared of losing him, and she starts to really hate Nathan, even though she knows in the end that he's right. Wow, I really have to start writing this today.
I may now have to start reading comic books.
You should! Who needs a life anyway? I can recommend loads of stuff, I've got volumes upon volumes of graphic novels and two boxes of comic books, and I only really got into them last year.
I just found out my ex-boyfriend is engaged to my cousin
Oh wow, that really sucks, I'm sorry. You're way better without him though. I think you're totally within your rights to use rl to guilt trip me this time.
Sadly, even then I thought it was a little off but still went with it.
I never really liked my name either, but I kept it for three years until it came to the point that I was too embarrassed to post in new communities. It was £7.50 well spent on the rename token.
Have you seen this guy, btw?
I have never seen that guy, but judging by cupcakes and porn, I think I like him.
(no subject)
I can go with that. Plus when I demand you write more fics, I can be all "Because your mentor commands!". It sounds much more authorative then "Rah-rah-rah! Your cheerleader wants you to write more fic."
Wow, I really have to start writing this today.
You do. Your mentor commands you to! Poor Peter is going to be emotionally fucked when this thing is all over but your description of Claire's journey makes it sound like she's going to have the most angsting to go through. I'm probably going to head off to bed in an hour or two but when I get up expect me to start bugging you.
Recommend away with the comic books. Don't know when I'll actually get around to it though since I'm a poor little bastard but I'll keep it in the back of my mind.
I think you're totally within your rights to use rl to guilt trip me this time.
Awesome! And I'm totally cashing in and guilting you into writing. And you really don't have to feel sorry. I'm a little stunned and even a smidgen amused by it. He seemed a load of talk when I was briefly (thankfully) dating him so if he actually follows through I'll be impressed. My cousin could do better though. But she's the type of girl that would put his ass in line so I'm not exactly worried about her.
It was £7.50 well spent on the rename token.
Thankfully, I was well over that particular username when I came over to LJ. My broke ass wouldn't want to spend any unneccesary money.
I have never seen that guy, but judging by cupcakes and porn, I think I like him.
I have spread the Jeff Dunham love to many of my friends and family. Achmed (Silence, I KEEL you) and Peanut are my favorites and Walter is pretty damn funny too. He's other characters are just okay though to be honest. He's done two shows for Comedy Central: Arguing with Myself and Spark of Insanity. Me and my friend, Caty especially make constant refrences to that show.

What is about abusing any character that we love? Fandom is weird. We adore characters yet we enjoy watching them get emotionally fucked over.
You sleep? Okay, all my dreams have been shattered now.
Shut up. I may be totally awesome but I still need to rest. But I'm awake now so share fic update details.
You'll have to tell me what kind of comics you're interested in, otherwise my Too Much Information disorder will take over.
Uh, what type of comics are there?
(no subject)
Hey, I had to sleep too! (Though it mostly involved my dog lying across me and heating me up and me repeatedly checking that my computer hadn't frozen.) I've only written 265 words; once I get past the beginning, I think it'll come easier.
Uh, what type of comics are there?
Every type, really; regular superhero stuff (Superman, Batman etc), more violent realistic stuff (Powers - which had actual monkey sex in it), old-style detective comics, TV tie-in stuff, really bizarre stuff that often involves cute homicidal animals and children, romance etc.
You know, if I hadn't lost all shred of dignity already, I'd probably be embarrassed right now.
(no subject)
I've only written 265 words; once I get past the beginning, I think it'll come easier.
*tries hard not to squeal and wake-up family* So yeah, I'm probably too excited about this fic but I'm just going to go with the feeling and not resist my eagerness. Have you got the overall fic in your head now or are you trying to get past the beginning so the inspiration and flow of the story strikes?
Powers - which had actual monkey sex in it
BWAH?! That's... interesting.
I really don't know what to ask for since my interests are all over the map. I can pretty much like anything if it's done right. So, I dunno... favorites?
(no subject)
Those are ungodly hours, I thought I was bad sleeping in till midday.
Have you got the overall fic in your head now or are you trying to get past the beginning so the inspiration and flow of the story strikes?
A little of both, I kind of know where it's going, but I haven't got into the flow of it yet. I haven't managed to get into the flow of writing for a couple of weeks now. *woe*
favorites?
Well, Powers is one of my all time favorites (not just for the monkey sex, though), but I have nine volumes of the trades and 20+ comics, so it's one that's expensive to start from the beginning. The first twelve issues of the new The Spirit are awesome, but the artist and writer have changed now and it kind of sucks. The Umbrella Academy, which was written by Gerard Way from MCR, was surprisingly good, and I love love love The Un-Men, which is incredibly disgusting and about mutant-type people. The new Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are pretty good too.
I've also got a weakness for tie-in comics, which are often awesomely awful (Stargate comics are some of the worst ever). Dark Horse and IDW are continuing Buffy and Angel, and doing it pretty well. Oh, and Bear! I have plushies and t-shirts of Bear and Looshkin. :D
